Today, the U.S. can set up an Army field hospital in about 72 hours, according to 2018 studies, but they are expensive to run—upwards of $3 million a month, according to a separate 2015 study of U.S. field-hospital deployments in Afghanistan, the most recent academic data available. Sciulli said, “A big emphasis for us in building Harbor [operating system] was the ability to do a lot of treatment remotely, including embedded telehealth, remote monitoring of various vitals, offline clinical resources—think video-assisted guides for different procedures and emergency medicine—and even remote control of certain devices, including ventilators, IV fluid pumps, and IV syringe pumps. It’s both about making it easier for clinicians and medics on the ground to do more with less, and for remote caregivers to be more connected and able to help actively on the front lines.”
